HELI-SKI GREENLAND

World-famous Olympian Bode Miller will host on a heliskiing holiday to Greenland next April, 2023, based onboard a former Arctic research vessel, travelling 241km beyond the Arctic Circle to Disko Bay, home to some of the largest icebergs in the world. Days will be filled with deep powder runs down to the water’s edge. Miller will be joined by ski guide and twotime World Extreme Skiing Champion Chris Davenport and polar guide Doug Stoup, who has skied the seven continents, been to the South Pole 18 times and pioneered skiing in Antarctica. Travellers can book individual cabins with prices for the seven-night trip starting from €60,000 per cabin/per week, all-inclusive. Originally designed as an Arctic research vessel, the 12-guest MV Nansen Explorer is specifically equipped for polar waters, with an ice-strengthened hull and a commercially certified heli-deck that makes for the ideal launch pad for heliskiing adventures. When guests aren’t skiing the glaciated landscape - 80% of which has never been skied before - they’ll have the chance to interact with the local Greenlanders and fishermen, as well as try their hand at sled dog excursions and visit colourful small towns.

SHAPES IN WHITE RETURNS

This winter, sparkling white snow sculptures will decorate the slopes of Ischgl. Teams of sculptors from all over the world who work with spades, chisels and carving tools will be back in Ischgl in the Austrian Tirol from 8 to 14 January to take part in the 29th staging of the resort’s Shapes in White exhibition. Each works to create a snow sculpture up to 10m high in just five days with a total of 50 tons of snow being used, creating an impressive open-air gallery. This year there’s a topical theme: “The future of eco-friendly travel in the face of climate change”. Shapes in White was launched in 1994 when Tourist Association bosses invited sculptors to make creations from the abundance of snow that was piled up after snowmachines had groomed the pistes.
